Mother had thrombosis in her right leg. It meant there’s blood clot in the blood vessel blocking the flows of blood. She used to stand for longer periods when younger since we had an eatery business and it resulted to her having varicose veins. She doesn’t refuse or fail to do household chores supposed to be done by younger members of the family.

Well, knowing her – I’m sure common sense will prevail eventually.
